Gibson’s appointment takes the number of staff to 18.
Malcolm Robertson, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Iain to our talented and motivated team. He joins us at an exciting time and one of considerable growth for the agency.
“We continue to look for further opportunities to challenge the potential of our existing team and to recruit new talent. We hope to have further announcements to make later in the summer.”
Gibson, who, prior to leaving Scotland in 2011, spent six years in the press office at Holyrood for the Scottish Conservatives, said: “I have followed the progress of Charlotte Street Partners closely for a number of years, so I am thrilled to be joining the agency at a time when it is clearly growing from strength to strength.
“As the world becomes more interconnected, clients increasingly require counsel and advice from a global perspective. I’m looking forward to using my experience of working abroad to provide these services for our clients and I’m especially excited to be joining such a strong team of people.”
